Montoni
Annette is a maid of Madame Cheron’s who eventually becomes Emily’s servant and closest confidant. She also eventually marries Ludovico, a servant that she loves for his bravery. Annette is more superstitious than Emily and she’s quicker to interpret the mysteries of Udolpho as having a supernatural cause. But she also demonstrates bravery by sticking with Emily in tough situations. Emily rewards Annette at the end by giving her enough money to marry her beloved Ludovico, and so Annette illustrates the benefits of loyalty.

Quotes
“How—how, ma’amselle, could you leave France, and leave Mons. Valancourt, too?” said Annette, sobbing. “I—I—am sure, if Ludovico had been in France, I would never have left it.”
“Why do you lament quitting France, then?” said Emily, trying to smile, “since, if you had remained there, you would not have found Ludovico.”
“Ah, ma’amselle! I only wish I was out of this frightful castle, serving you in France, and I would care about nothing else!”
Volume 3, Chapter 9
Quotes
Ludovico, who had been with his tired horses to the hovel, which served for a stable, entered the room, half frantic with joy, in which his auditors soon participated. On removing the saddle from one of the horses, he had found beneath it a small bag, containing, no doubt, the booty of one of the Condottieri, who had returned from a plundering excursion, just before Ludovico left the castle, and whose horse having strayed from the inner court, while his master was engaged in drinking, had brought away the treasure, which the ruffian had considered the reward of his exploit.
